Re: Supreme Court to consider semiautomatic rifle laws
Wow! That's hard to believe someone could make a tiny replica of and actually be a working weapon much less a collection of them. It's also hard to realize that some political drones would want to confiscate such works of art. Here is the link to story that Eoin is referring to that I picked up in t...

Re: Supreme Court to consider semiautomatic rifle laws
Did a AI Google search to see what artificial truth says: The M1 Garand has a practical aimed rate of fire of 40 to 50 rounds per minute, whereas the bolt-action Lee-Enfield yields 20 to 30 aimed rounds per minute. The Garand’s semi-automatic action eliminated the need to manually cycle the bolt, al...

Re: Supreme Court to consider semiautomatic rifle laws
Bolt guns firing fast is one of the things that was a claim to fame of the Enfield as a battle rifle. At the same time bolt guns don't really frighten people in the way modern semi auto rifles do though. The anti gun people in the US fear the high capacity magazines of small high velocity rounds tha...

Re: Supreme Court to consider semiautomatic rifle laws
The strange thing to me is that each state in the US thinks it can make up it's own rules about the right to own guns while citing the original founding fathers permissive Constitutional right was written before there were semi auto guns of any sort. Of course someone, or some organization, can get ...

Supreme Court to consider semiautomatic rifle laws
Saw this in the UPI news this morning. June 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday announced that it will decide if states and cities can bar people from owning semiautomatic weapons, including AR-15-style rifles. The court had previously declined to hear this challenge in 2025 and other time...

Re: Moderators, silencers, suppressors.
Americans seem to all like noise. The 4th of July is coming up. People who probably never owned a firearm, as well as those that have, are loading up on fireworks. Children set off fireworks as a right of passage. However, the hearing damage is a real thing. I've been hearing a choir of thousands of...

Re: Moderators, silencers, suppressors.
Did a quick Google. The $200 "tax" has gone by the wayside. However silencers are still required to have the federal background check and apparently some wait so many days still applies to some extent. For regular firearms wait or no wait upon approval varies from state to state. In my sta...

Re: Gun ownership details in the UK.
Politicians in every country seem to think of their countrymen as immature and untrustworthy and in need of constant supervision and control like they were all ten year old children being supervised in grade school and particularly so when it comes to firearms. They want a nice docile controllable p...
